This first Christmas Day poster in the NFL will pit two franchises in difficulty and with negative results, the Washington Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys.
After missing the play-offs last season, the Cowboys had the ambition of not missing the final phase again at the start of 2026. But after 14 games, the record is bad for Dallas, which has a record of 6 wins for 8 losses. Above all, the dynamic is not good for Brian Schottenheimer’s men who remain on 3 defeats in a row, the fault in particular of a catastrophic defense with more than 32 points conceded per game. To hope for the play-offs, Dak Prescott’s partners will have to win their last 2 matches while counting on favorable scenarios, which is a miracle! And to believe in this miracle, the Cowboys will absolutely have to return victorious from their trip to the capital.
The Commanders have already said goodbye to their long-standing playoff dream, which represents a huge disappointment for the Washington franchise. Yet conference finalist last season, Dan Quinn’s team wanted to be ambitious and even if the start of the season had been good with 3 victories in 5 games, since then however it has been a grimace. The main cause was the injuries which affected the Commanders squad, such as their quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was regularly bothered by his elbow and which ended his season. Result, 9 defeats in the last 10 matches and a post-season which will be watched on TV, very far from the ambitions displayed in September. Will there be a burst of pride during this last meeting at FedEx Field? Start of response this Thursday evening!
